Straight Razor of the day

Fine shave with the Filly 13 but another strikeout with The Shave Den Floid Blue Type soap. I was going to toss it but gave it another try based on the experience of a trusted fellow shaver. Once again, it thinned out and became invisible on my face after about 30 seconds and I had to switch to the MSC Black Tie to finish shaving. I might try a third time with this soap only because the scent is amazing.

Such an enjoyable scent is Cognac & Cuban Cigar! Could you describe the scent of Lucky Tiger? I notice you use it a great deal, which tells me it must be a great product.

Yes I do use Lucky Tiger Face Tonic after almost all my shaves. When I use Rose scented soaps I switch to Thayer’s Rose Petal Witch Hazel, otherwise it’s the Lucky Tiger product. It is alcohol free with a very mild citrus scent. Think orange,tangerine or grapefruit, giving a fresh bright uplifting scent.The scent is short lived so it won’t interfere with any other splash, balm, EDT or cologne. Some of the key ingredients are Chamomile, Calendula and Aloe Vera. It just feels great on my face after a shave but YMMV. It certainly is not an expensive product but I think it punches well above it’s price point. Try it….you can pick up a bottle for under $20.
